This year's Big One for One Drop at the WSOP was without a doubt a dramatic event. The huge buyin, Daniel Colman's controversial decision to not give a winners interview, and Daniel Negreanu's runner-up finish which put him on the top of the all time money-list created a big buzz around the event. However, not everyone from the One Drop field was as lucky as the two Daniels who got to heads up.
Pamela Anderson, wife of producer Rick Salomon, who finished fourth in the event for $2.8 million, has filed for divorce just two days after Salomon's big score according to People magazine.
The couple has already divorced once in 2007, after only two months of marriage. This time the marriage lasted much longer, they've been married for 6 months. The couple actually met each other playing poker, they played a lot together in a home game. Pamela lost around $250,000 to Rick.
Rick Salomon is a producer, actor, part-time poker player, but he is most known for dating celebrities such as Pamela, Shannen Doherty, and Paris Hilton (the couple has a sex tape that has leaked on the internet also).
Perhaps the $2.8 million will be able to cure Salomon's heartache a little, but that cannot be said about Jean-Robert Bellande.
Just a few days after playing and busting the $1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop, Bellande, embracing his motto, "Broke, but living like a millionaire'' has been arrested before the Bellagio in the early morning hours.
Jean-Robert, was charged with "expired license plates" and "unlawful acts financial responsibility", which, to put it simple means Jean-Robert didn't pay the required insurance for his car. He has three prior issues in cases like this, going back to 2007.
After his release from jail, JRB clarified the situation on twitter : ''Ew. Yup. that's me getting arrested last night. Bad idea transferring my JRBROKE plates onto my Bentley without DMV ok. #brokeinjail" Jean-Robert's run bad continued in the following days. He super-late registered the WSOP Main Event, but busted in a couple of hours, despite tweeting "Need to FT just to get even for summer #brokesummer''
